Location — Grants — Proprietors — Incorporation 

The town of Turner lies on the west bank of the An- 
droscoggin river, in about 44 degrees 15 minutes north 
hititude. It is bounded, southerly, by the city of 
Auburn and the town of Minot, hvc and one-half miles 
westerly, by Hebron, Bucktield and Hartford, ten 
miles and one hundred and eighty rods; northerly, by 
Livermore, three miles and two hundred and fifty 
rods; easterly by the vVndroscoggin river. Leeds and 
(jreene, are adjoining towns on the right bank of the 
river. It originally constituted a part of Cumberland 
county, was afterwards embraced in Oxford count}', 
but in i(S42 it became a part of Androscoggin county, 
which was at that time created out of several adjoining 
counties. The township was originall}' granted to the 
heirs and assigns of Captain Joseph Sylvester and his 
companv, for millitarv services rendered in the inva- 
sion of Canada under wSir William Phipps, in 1690. 
Mr. Dean in his history of Scituate, gives this account 
of the Silvester family: Richard Sylvester, the father 
of Captain Joseph, lived in Weymouth in 1633, where 
he acquired an unfortunate notoriety by espousing 
certain religious opinions too liberal for the age in 
which he lived. 

Mr. Robert Lenthal, his minister at Weymouth, 
advanced the sentiment that all baptized persons 
should be admitted to the communion without further 



lO HISTORICAL 

trial. This was a heresy, to be noticed by the 
Government and he was ordered to retract in presence 
of the General Court, with which order he complied. 
But Richard Sylvester, who held the same sentiments, 
still adhered to his own opinion, and in consequence 
of so doing, was lined and disfranchised b}' the Govern- 
ment. This put him upon removing from the colony, 
and he came to Scituate in 1642. Joseph, who was 
his third son, settled also in Scituate, and had a farm 
on Church Hill in 1664. 

Joseph Sylvester of Cumberland county, Maine, 
married Lucy Wade in 1788. He lived at a place 
called Front's Gore. Joseph commanded a company 
under the famous Colonel Church, in his eastern expe- 
dition against the Indians in 1689. The next year he 
raised a company, sixteen of which belonged to Scitu- 
ate, and many of whom never returned, and joined in 
the enterprise undertaken by Sir William Phipps 
against the French possessions of Port Royal and 
Qiiebec. In this campaign, Israel Chitteden was his 
lieutenant, and John Stetson, ensign. This enterprise 
proved disastrous and fatal to the brave Captain Syl- 
vester and many of his men. 

The historian, before quoted, says of them; Many 
noncupative wills were entered, and proved in the pro- 
bate Court, Plymouth County, and among the number 
was that of Captain Sylvester himself. This will was 
proved by the testimony ot three of his soldiers, Ben- 
jamin Stetson, John Perry, and William Perr}^, and 



HISTORICAL II 

reads thus: I gi\c all my land at Hugh's Cross to my 
son Joseph; the three younger sons to be provided for 
by their mother, out of my other property, wife Mary 
to be executrix. The Records show also that Timothy 
Rogers was appointed to administer on the estate of 
Nathaniel Parker, who joined the Canada expedition 
of 1690. 

The widow Mary was appointed administratrix 
on the estate of her husband, Ensign John Stetson. 
Eliab Turner was appointed administrator on the estate 
of his brother La/arus Turner, who died in the same 
service. Moses Simons, in his will says: Being bound 
to Canada as a soldier, in 1690, in case he shall never 
return, orders his property to be equally divided be- 
tween his brothers; this brother John to be executor. 
He did not return, and his will was duly executed. 
Samuel Bryant fell in the same expedition, and an in- 
ventory of his property was taken by William Perry 
and Samuel Stetson. Samuel Dwelly died also in this 
expedition, and an inventory of his property was taken 
by Jeremiah Hatch and Thomas H3'land. His father 
was administrator. Robert Sprout was another that 
did not return. These tew names are rescued from 
oblivion. Mindful of this service, the General Court 
of Massachusetts granted a township of land to the 
heirs and assigns of Capt Sylvester and his company, 
situated, as supposed, in the province ot Maine; but on 
runing the line between Maine and New Hampshire, 
the township was found to be in the latter State. A 



12 HISTORICAL 

petition was then presented by the parties interested, 
to the General Court for another township, on which 
action was taken as tbUows; — 

Province of Massachusetts Bay, 

In the House of Representatives, June 25, 1765. 
On the petition of James Warren and Joseph 
Joslyn, Esqrs. and Mr. Charles Turner, Agents for the 
proprietors of a township granted to Capt. Joseph 
Sylvester and company who served in the expedition 
against Canada in 1690, which township was known by 
the name of S3lvester-Canada, and that the whole of 
said township, on running the lines between this 
Province and New Hampshire, fell with the govern- 
ment of New Hampshire. Resolved, that in lieu 
thereof there be granted to the petitioners and the 
legal representatives or assigns of the said Joseph 
Sylvester and Company, a township of the contents of 
seven miles square in the unappropriated land belong- 
ins: to this Province. Provided that the Grantees 
within six vears settle thirty families in said town, 
build a house tor public worship and settle a learned 
Protestant minister, and lay out one sixty-fourth part 
of said town for the use of the first settled minister, 
and one sixty-fourth part for the ministry, and one 
other sixty- fourth part for a Grammar School, and one 
sixt}'- fourth part for the use of Harvard College. 

Provided, also, the said township be laid out in 
such parts of the unappropriated lands belonging 



HISTORICAL 13 

to this Province ;icljoinin<i; to some former grants to the 
eastward of Saco river, and they return a plan thereof 
into the secretary's office within twelve months from 
this day, for confirmation. 

In Council, June 25, 1765. 
Read and concurred. Consented to by the Gov- 
ernor.

plan thereof, as required. The township, as located, 
was confirmed to them by the following act: 

An Act to incorporate the Plantation called Sylvester, 
into a town by the name of Turner. 

Whereas it appears to this Court that it would be 
productive of the public good and for the benefit of 
the inhabitants and proprietors of the said plantation, 
that the same should be incorporated into a town: 

Sect. I. Be it enacted by the Senate and House 
of Representatives in the General Court assembled, and 
by the authority of the same, that the plantation called 
S3'lvester, and included within the boundaries described 
by this Act., together with the inhabitants thereof, be, 
and hereby are, incorporated into a town by the name 
of Turner. (Here follow the boundaries contained in 
the original grant to the proprietors,) and the said 
town is hereby vested with all the powers, rights, and 
immunities which towns within this commonwealth 
are entitled to, or by law do enjoy. 

Sect. 2. And be it further enacted by the au- 
thority aforesaid that Isaac Parsons, Esq., of New 
Gloucester, be, and he hereb}' is empowered to issue 



HISTORICAL 15 

his warrant to some principal inhabitant of said town, 
requiring him to warn the inhabitants thereof to meet 
as he shall therein set forth, to choose all such officers 
as towns are required by law to choose in the months 
of March or April annuall}-. 



Early Settlement 

The earl}' settlement of Turner is a story of the 
pioneer in the struggle with nature as is the case in other 
towns of the rugged Pine Tree State. The proprietors 
were troubled somewhat to secure settlers upon this 
tract of land, but finally succeeded in the year 1772 to 
induce Daniel Staples, Thomas Records, Joseph Leavitt 
and Abner Phillips to begin to fall trees with a view to 
settlement. With the forest thus br oken the en- 
couraging of settlers was much easier. 

We give herewith the names of the principal 
settlers, the dates-of settlement and the lots taken:

State troops and seaman; Andrew Bass, fell in the 
battle ot Stillwater, 1777; James Allen, musician in 
Massachusetts line; Jacob Gardiner, during the war; 
Nathaniel Marston, in the New Hampshire line. 

THE WAR OF 181 2 

In this war the following citizens of the town vol- 
unteered, and served on the Canada frontier one year 
or more, Capt. Stephen Turner, Isaac Allen, James 
Allen, James Allen Jr., Jacob Merrill, William Lom- 
bard, Theodocius Merrill, Peter Lombard, John Bailey, 
Charles Staples, Josiah Keen, Israel Smith, Jacob 
Keen and Barnet Pumpilly. Captain Turner was killed 
at the battle of Bridgewater, and Theodocius Merrill 
died in the armw The coast engaged the attention ol 
the Maine to a greater degree than did any other phase 
of this conflict. The state militia was called into ser- 
vice, and Turner was represented in that branch by 
two companies of infantrv commanded bv Captains 
Seth Staples and Aaron Soule, and also a company ot 
artillery commanded by Capt. Leonard Richmond. 
These troops were called to the defense of Portland. 

AROOSTOOK WAR 

Probably no contest of the international nature so 
thoroughly aroused the people of Turner and in fact 



20 HISTORICAL 

the whole state of Maine as did the ''Bloodless Aroos- 
took War" of 1840. This promised at one time to be 
a very serious quarrel and the people of Maine were 
greatly exereised over the danger of having the war 
scene on their own territory. But they were far more 
concerned over the proposed steal of territor}^ of the 
northeastern portion ol the state by Great Britian 
through her New Brunswick subjects and so called 
upon the Washington authorities to demand justice ot 
Great Britian. Washington officials were not ready to 
take hasty action and so the matter dragged along 
much to the dissatisfaction of Maine. The State 
thereupon took matters in its own hands and raised 
mone}- and troops to defend the border. The matter 
was settled by the Webster- Ashburton Treaty in 1842.

Educational Account 



The town of Turner has ever been the tirm iViend 
of education, esteeming it one of the bulwarks of the 
liberties we cherish so fondly. From the very hrst 
effort was made to promote its principles in this com- 
munity. In accordance with the time honored custom 



HISTORICAL 29 

of the General Court of Massachusetts, the proprietors 
of Sylvester Town (Turner) were required by the act 
which secured to them the township, to set apart the 
following- lands for the different purposes enumerated; 
one sixty-fourth part of the townsliip for the support 
ot a learned Protestant minister; one sixt3'-lourth part 
for the support of schools in town; one sixty-fourth 
part for the benefit of Harvard College. The problem 
of handling the ministerial lands was less complicated 
than was the one of handling the school lands. The 
settled minister tor a number of years cultivated the 
ministerial lands and thus secured a portion of his 
salarv. But tlie school lands were tor man}' 3-ears un- 
productive of revenue. It was proposed to sell the 
lands and witli the proceeds establish a permanent 
fund. The ministerial lands were also to be included 
in this sale and the proceeds of that sale to be applied 
tor the support ot public worship. The petition was 
granted in the tbrm ot an act ot the General Court, 
passed in the year 1803, entitled: An Act to authorize 
the raising of a fund for the support of the ministry, 
and a (irammer school in the town of Turner in the 
County of Cumberland. 

This Act provided that a board of trustees should 
be chosen to sell the lands and receive the proceeds, 
and also to have the same in charge for the purposes 
above enumerated. By the provisions of the Act, 
Ichabod Bonney, Esq., William Bradtbrd, Benjamin 
Evans, John Turner, Esq., Daniel Cary, Luther Cary 



30 HISTORICAL 

and John Loring were constituted the Board of Trus- 
tees, with power to fill any and all vacancies, maintain- 
ing the committee of not more than seven meinbers 
and not less than five. 

At a meetins: of the trustees holden at the house 
of Ichabod Bonney, Esq., on March 15, 1803, the 
board organized with Luther Cary, Esq., president; 
Benjamin Evans, clerk; John Turner, treasurer. A 
committee was appointed to appraise the lands. 

The ministerial lands were sold to various parties 
for cash and notes, for the total sum of $3,850. The 
school lands were disposed ol in the same way for the 
sum of $2,550. 

The ministerial lands were made up of lots, No. 
224, No. 126, No. 203 and No. 51. The school lands 
were composed of lots number 99, 257, 168, and 4. 

It was provided that these funds should not be 
productive until the annual interest of the former 
reached a total of $350, and the latter a sum equal to 
$250. For some time the work of the board of trus- 
tees was chiefly looking after the notes and sale ot 
lands. It was also provided that when there was money 
in the treasurer's hands arising from this fund it could 
be hired by any one in town on conditton that he fur- 
nish two acceptable sureties. There was, it is stated, 
rarely a time when there was no one in town willing 
"to hire money of the town" as it was called. So well 
was the mone}' of these two funds handled that in 1808 
the treasurer's report showed that there had been no 



Historical ^ 31 

losses and the sum on hand in casli or securities to the 
amount of $4,978.99 for tlie ministerial fund, and $t,,- 
376.72 tor the school iund. 

When the school fund became productive the 
trustees were confronted with the problem how to 
carry out the provision of the act callini^; tor granunar 
school. The sum was inade(|uate tor a strictly (Tr;im- 
mar Grade, and it did not seem to be rii;ht to apph' the 
revenue to the support of common schools. The town 
was desirous that the latter be done and it voted to 
secure the trustees from an\' loss which might occur 
from such action. For a term ot Nears this method 
was followed. 

After a time this method was changed so that the 
three largest schools in town were gi\en the money, 
and re(|uired to turnish instruction in the higher 
branches. This plan was followed tor a time but tin- 
ally abandoned, and in 1828 it was voted that the fund 
be used to support a Grammar school for one vear. 
Alden Blossom was chosen to carr\' the vote into etiect. 
This plan was followed tor some time. Twehe weeks 
of school was maintained usualh* in dillerent districts 
so that all sections might tare alike. Later instead ot 
a term ot twelve weeks, the plan oi" maintaining two 
terms of six weeks each during the autumn, has been 
followed down to recent 3'ears. Thus the wise lore- 
sight ot" the framers ot the act granting the town, has 
been productive of excellent results. 

For some years the state's provision for a High 
School was made use of — the State assumintr one-halt 



32 HISTORICAL 

the cost of the High Schools maintained up to the to- 
tal sum of $250. 

The year 1896 witnessed the most important edu- 
cational event in the history of this town, when Mr. 
James Madison Leavitt of Brooklyn, New York, a na- 
tive of Turner, established here the Leavitt Institute. 
This finely equipped institution was the magniticent 
gift of Mr. Leavitt. It was opened to the instruction of 
the 3'Outh in the spring of 1897, with Lauren M. San- 
born, A. B., as principal. The institute is located at 
Turner Centre' ainid the most healthful and beautiful 
surroundings, twelve miles distant from Auburn by 
stage and eight niiles from Buckfield. 

The building so generously given b}' Mr. Leavitt 
is one of the finest in the east. Its convenience, equip- 
ment, and beauty have won universal comment. 

The Institute presents four courses of study, viz.. 
College Preparatory, Latin-Scientific, English and 
Normal. It is well supplied with teaching talent and 
has justly come into a very prominent place among the 
secondar}' schools of Maine. The list of Principals 
from the first, with the dates of their connection with 
the school are as follows: 

i896-'97 — Lauren M. Sanborn, A. B. 

i897-'o2 — Leland A. Ross, A. B. 

i902-'o3 — Horatio P. Barker, A. B. 

1903 — Bertram E. Packard, A. B., the present ef- 
ficient principal. 

The other teachers in charge of the several depart- 
ments areas follows: Lelan P. Knapp, A. B., Sub- 



niSTORicAJ. 33 

Master; Lola Merriman, Preceptress; M3'rtie B. 
Childs, Music, Elocution and Drawing-; and Ethel 
Jenks, Principal of the Training School. 

When Mr. James Madison Leavitt died in March, 
1903, he left a liberal sum as an endowment for this 
school. This magniticent Institution coupled with the 
strenuous etforts ol the town in previous 3'ears in be- 
half of education, has made lor the town ot Turner an 
excellent reputation in educational circles. All indi- 
cations point toward a continuation of her loyal and 
successful support of the principles ot education. 



Church Account 



The history of the progress ot church work in 
the town ot Turner is largel}* a histor}' of the ditierent 
denominations in town. We learn that the first denom- 
ination to locate here was the Consregationlist. The 
society was ibunded by the Rev. Charles Turner, who 
came from Duxborough, Mass., having been dismissed 
from the church at that place. We however under- 
stand that this act oi dismissal was not one which car- 
ried great blame to the doors of Mr. Turner. The date 
of his coming to town was 1776. On this visit he 
preached in and also baptised two children of a Mr. Has- 



34 HISTORICAL 

kell. His next visit was in 1789 and was rather more 
successful than on his previous trip taking several in 
covenant relations, baptising several children and one 
adult. The only regular services held in this town lor 
a good many years were led by Deacon Daniel 
Merrill, who came here from New Gloucester. 
During the five years lollowing Mr. Turner's second 
visit the only preachers here were Revs. B. Brown 
ol W^stbrook and Nash of Gray. In 1874 Rev. John 
Strickland a native of Hadle}', Mass., and a graduate 
of Yale, came to this place for regular labors; in Au- 
gust of this year a church of fifteen members was or- 
ganized. Mr Strickland was called as pastor of the 
new church and was installed as such in September 
following. Six years later b}' the vote of the town he 
was dismissed. He did not however comply with this 
action and continued in his work, though his salar}' 
was very much limited. He remained until his case 
was taken up by an eclesiastical council and a vote ol 
dismissal carried. He then closed his labors for the 
time. For several years no services were conducted 
and the place became what a previous writer termed it 
a spiritual wilderness. In 1802 complaint was made on 
account ot the neglect of the town to provide religious 
services. Both Mr. Strickland and Mr. Turner were 
emplo3'ed lor a time. Later Mr. Turner was called by 
the town, but here a controvers}' began, and many 
events of local dissension followed. Finally the church 
was chanoed in name from the Presbeterian to the 



HISTORICAL 35 

Congregational denomination. Soon after the church is- 
sued a call to the Rev. Amasa Smith as their pastor. 
This choice was ratified by the town and Mr. Smith 
was ordained b}^ the church on May 23, 1804. How- 
ever there were some in town who did not iavor Mr. 
Smith and it was not long be lore a Uni\ ersalist society 
was organized here. 

This was the parting of the ways and tlie two 
societies organized themselves into two separate 
churches. The Universalists had filty-tour original 
members. However as we have seen in the educa- 
tional account the public lands set apart for the sup- 
port ol the church and schools did not become pro- 
tliKli\e for some time alter this. The tax on the re- 
maining members of the Congregational Society was 
heavy, on account ot the forming of a new society, 
and the consequent loss of the support of those who 
joined the new moxement. 

In 1806 a meeting was held to consider the dis- 
missal of Mr. Smith, and alter much discussion it was 
found that the necessary number of votes to cany 
the dismissal had not been cast. But a few of the 
members conferred with the pastor and it was agreed 
his labors should cease sometime in the near future. 
He was later installed as pastor of the North Yar- 
mouth Church. 

For four vears following the dismissal of INIr. Smith 
there was no pastor. In 1810 Rev. Allen Greeley be- 
gan preaching here as a candidate for settlement. The 



36 HISTORICAL 

society voted to settle him and he was ordained on 
October 24, 18 10. Mr. Greele}' was continued here as 
pastor until 1844. His work it is needless to say was 
productive of good results. 

One of the most bitter contests in the history of the 
town was one over the problem who should receive 
the benefit of the ministerial fund which had become 
productive soon alter Mr. Greeley's settlement. This 
contest was long and severe. The following is a brief 
statement of the main facts connected with it. 

The society over which Mr. Greeley was pastor 
had been designated the one which should receive the 
bcneht of the returns from the ministerial funds. In 
1811 the trustees of that fund voted to pay him $70.00 
and so continued till a controversy arose. The other 
societies in town began to feel that they should also 
share in this fund. The Baptist society was incorpora- 
in 1792 and the Universalist society was formed not 
long after. The two other societies made their claim 
for their share of the funds. The trustees denied their 
right to share in it. The next action was an attempt 
to dismiss Mr. Greeley and to establish Rev. George 
Bates of the Universalist society in his stead. Much 
confusion arose both in the meeting which voted on 
the matter and outside of it. Much hard feeling was 
caused and the two claimants carried their greviances 
to the courts of law. 

But it was finally agreed to compromise the matter 
b}' dividing the proceeds of the fund between Mr. 



HISTORICAL 37 

Greeley and Mr. Bates, and also it was provided that 
eaeh party to the suits then pending, should settle his 
own costs. This compromise lasted five years. When 
the time had expired, the matter was again open to 
public discussion and dilhculties returned. This time 
an act was passed by the Legislature which provided 
means for the settlement of the matter. The provision 
was that the trustees should divide the funds between 
the several Protestant ministers in town, in proportion 
to the number of polls adhering or belonging to the so- 
cieties of the said ministers, respectively. This seems 
to have settled the trouble permanently and no further 
strife is reported over the matter. 

The later pastors of the Congregational Church of 
Turner have been the following: Rev, Henry Eddy 
from 1844 to 1846; Rev. W. L. James from 1846 to 
1847; Rev. John Dodd from 1847 to 1854; Rev. 
Samuel Bowker from 1855 to i860; Rev. S. C. Higgins 
from i860 to 1863; Bev. Stacy Fowler from 1864 to 
1866; Rev. B. F. Manwell from 1866 to 1867; Rev. F. 
W. Dickinson from 1868 to 1870; Rev. Alvin B. 
Jordan from 1871 to 1872; Rev. F. E. Emrich from 
1872 to 1873; Rev. Uriah Small from 1873 to 1875; 
Rev. Edwin S. Tingley from 1876 to 1882; Rev. 
Richard H. McGown from 1882 to 1885; Rev. Albert 
N.Jones from 1886 to 1888; Rev. R. D. Osgood from 
1888 to 1891; Rev. F. A. Sanborn from 1892 to 
1895; Rev. A. S. Bole from 1895 to 1899; C. 
S. Wilder from September i, 1899 to March i, 1901. 



38 HISTORICAL 

A. C. Gilmore from April 14, 1901 to September i, 1903. 
Sumner Sargent began his labors December 13, 1903. 
In 1894, while Rev. F. A. Sanborn was pastor, the par- 
sonage was repaired, a new ell being built at an ex- 
pense of $300. In 1898 a chapel was added to the 
church building, costing $1200. 



UNIVERSALIST CHURCH 

As we have already stated the Universalist church 
was organized in Turner at an early date. The peti- 
tion of the members who were to form the societ}' 
was dated at Turner on December 24, 1803, and was 
signed by fitty-two persons. There was considerable 
opposition on the part of the members of the first 
parish. They petitioned the General Court to protest 
against the organization of the society, claiming that 
there was not the real purpose of a church society, but 
an attempt to escape the burdens of taxation. The 
act ol incorporation was unsatisfactory to the Univer- 
salists themselves. This was because it limited the 
time for receiving members to one year and made no 
provision for receiving them alter that time. How- 
ever it was accepted and later was recinded by vote ol 
the Maine Legislatuie. 

It is stated that the lirst pastor of this church or 
rather the lirst preacher was Rev. Thomas Barnes ot 
Poland. He was not a settled preacher at this place, 



HISTORICAL 39 

but trom iSoi till his death in 1816 he was a preacher 
here irequently. In 1806 Rev. Sabastian Streeter, a 
native ol New Hampshire, preached here and awak- 
ened a deep interest in his belief. During the time 
previous to 1S24 the preachers were as follows Revs. 
William Frost, Thomas Barnes, Jabez Woodman, 
William Farewell, Mr. Smith, Mr. Sargeant, J^enjamin 
Thorn and others. Rev. Sylvanus Cobb commenced 
about 1824 to preach to this society and remained with 
them two or three years. 

Among the other preachers who have been ident- 
ified with this society are the following: Rev. George 
Bates, Rev. W. R. French, Rev. H. C. Munson, Rev. 
G. M. D. Barnes, Rev. John Kimball, Rev. W. W. 
Smith and James Eastwood. 



BAPTISTS 

The Baptists of this town were organized on Nov- 
ember 17, 1792. Until 1 81 6 there were but few 
additions to this church. In 181 6 there was a revival 
to quite an extent and manv were taken into member- 
ship. Elder Ricker of Minot became their preacher at 
this time. The first regular pastor was Rev. Adam 
Wdson D. D. Others have been the following: John 
Hill, Charles Miller, William O. Grant, Josiah Hough- 
ton, Eliab Coy, Elder Curtis, Nathaniel Butler, C. 
Ayer, L. D. Hall, II. B. Marshall, Abner Morrill, Rev. 



40 HISTORICAL 

John Richardson, I. Record, A. A. Smith, S. A. Sever- 
ance, C. T. Chirk, N. G. French, and others. 



METHODISTS 

The Methodists in this town did not organize till 
a comparativel}^ late date. The year 1879 witnessed 
the organization of a society of this denomination by 
Rev. S. T. Record, at Turner Village. He remained 
with the church for a term ol three years. His suc- 
cessor was Rev. N. C. Clifford, who remained for one 
3'ear. Rev J. Moulton came to this church in 1883 and 
remained three 3'ears. Rev. John P. Roberts came 
here in 1886 and remained one year. He was suc- 
ceeded by Rev. M. C. Mabry, who was the pastor until 
1 89 1. His pastorate was ver}^ successful, adding many 
new members and maintaining an interest which was 
very encouraging. He was succeeded by Rev. A. B. 
Graffam. Among others have been C. H. B. Seliger 
and the present pastor, W. S. Jones. 



MEETING HOUSES 

The first meeting house erected in the town ot 
Turner was built in 1783 on "Upper street". It was 
built b}^ the following contractors who made their con- 
tract with the proprietors ot the town: Samuel Blake, 



HISTORICAL 41 

Henry Jotics, John Keen, Nathan Niles, William Bed- 
ford, Joseph Leavitt, Benjamin Jones and Jabe/ Merrill. 

These men were paid £78 lor the work and the 
building was to have the following dimensions: not 
less than 35 leet scjuare, 20 feet posts. Other specihea- 
tion were as follows: To board and elapboard 
the walls, board and shingle the root, set twenty-lour 
window frames, glaze six windows, and lay the lower 
floor. 

The settlers beeaiiie the owners ot the church and 
until 1S19 it was the only church building in town. 
On that date the Congregationalists built a church 
further west, which stood until 1836 when it was des- 
troyed by fire. It was rebuilt on the site of the town 
meeting house. Not many years later this was sold 
and the one at the village was built. 

The Universalist church was erected on Lower 
street in 1825. This house was taken down in 1848 
and a new one put up at I'urner Centre. 

At Richmond's Corner the Universalists in 1841 
put up a chapel, but as it was used by them onl}' a 
portion ol the time it was thrown open to any religious 
sect which might wish to use it the remainder of the 
time. 

The Union church was built at North Turner and 
dedicated in 1877 free from debt.

The first physician in town was Dr. Daniel Childs, 
who came from Woodstock, Connecticut, in 1781. He 
was a skillful ph3'sician and a prominent man in town 
affairs. Dr. Luther Cary came from Bridgewater, 
Massachusetts, in 1789. He was several times elected 
president of the Medical Society of Maine, and in 1805 
was appointed Judge ot the Court of Common Pleas 
lor the county of Oxford, which then had been re- 
cently organized. Dr. Timothy Howe was born in 
Hillsborough, New Hampshire, in 1778. He came 
to Turner about 1804, and from here he removed to 
Brettun's Mills, Livermore, then returned to 
Turner, where he resided until his death in 1848. Dr. 
Philip Bradford was born at Turner Center, July 15, 
1789. He was educated at Hebron Academy and 
Dartmouth College. He located and practiced in this 
town until his death, June 24, 1863. Dr. Henry D. 
Irish was born in Bucksport, in 182 1, and came to 
Turner in 1847. He was a very successiul physician 
and was the leading doctor in town at the time of his 
death in 1871. Dr. William H. Jewett was born at 
Kent's Hill, Readfield, about 1825. He settled at

HISTORICAL 43 

with the exception ot a term of ser\"ice as suri^eon in 
the War of the Rebellion. Dr. Elbridge G. Edii^ecomb 
came from Livermore in 1814. He settled at Turner 
in 1865 or 1866. Dr. Richmond Bradford when a 
young man, opened an office at his father's, in this 
town, but remoNcd to Auburn, where he practiced 
until the intirmities of age compelled him to relinquish 
his duties. 

The next we shall mention is Dr. Roscoe Smith. 
He openedhis office in Turner Village in 1871. He was 
a man very much devoted to his profession. Dr. H. 
L. Irish commenced practice in Turner in 1875. Alter 
graduating from a medical office in New York, he

he practiced with great success. Dr. John T. Gushing

His death occured in 1834. Other law3'ers have been 
the following: Charles Andrews, Timothy Ludden,

44 HISTORICAL 

Post Offices and Mail Routes 



We quote the following from Rev. Dr. French: 
"The first county road through the town passed 
along Upper street, so calleid, and probably down by 
Mr. Barrill's, through the woods by the residence of 
Deacon Martin Bradford, where Alden Briggs now 
(1886) lives, over Dillingham Hill to North Auburn, 
thence over West Auburn Hill and Perkins Ridge to 
Minot Corner, known formerly as Groveneur's Corner 
through Poland and New Gloucester on to Portland. 
The road was extended north from Upper street as the 
needs of the settlers required. Inquiry makes it prob- 
able that this was the road traveled many years to and 
from Portland, and that this was substantiall}' the route 
by which the first settlers reached the plantation when 
the road was a path through the woods, and spotted 
trees served as guide boards." 



Personal 



HON. EUGENE HALE 

Hon. Eugene Hale, the present junior United 
States Senator from Maine, was a native of this town 



Historical 45 

where he was born in ihe year i(S36. Mr. Hale was 
the son of James Sullixan llale and I^etsey (Staples) 
Hale. He received his educational trainini^ in the 
Turner schools and at Hebron Academy. He entered 
the profession of the law, studN'inju; in the office of 
Howard & Strout of Portland. When he reached the 
age of twenty-one he opened an oflice in Orland INIaine. 
He soon removed to Ellsworth where he entered into 
a partnership with Mr. Robinson, a well known law3'er 
and with a large practice. Mr. Robinson soon died 
and Mr. Hale succeeded to the business. 

He was later elected County Attorney and held 
the position for several 3ears. He next went to the 
Maine Legislature, and after serving several terms w^as 
chosen a member ol" Congress where he served ten 
years. In 1881 he was sent to the United States Senate 
and has held his position there ever since. He has by 
his steady persistence, his high order of ability, his ex- 
ceptional) \' good estimate of human nature, and his 
unswer\ing l()\alt\' to his duties, advanced himself to a 
position of great prominence and influence in the 
United States Government at Washington. 



SOLON CHASE 

Solon Chase was born in the town of Turner on 
January 14, 1822. He received his education in the 
common schools of this town and in Gorham Sem- 



46 HISTORICAL 

inary. He was once admitted to the West Point 
Militar}' school on an appointment of President Tyler, 
but was after a three weeks stay pronounced ph3sicall3' 
unsound and was dismissed. In Politics Mr. Chase 
was a whig prior to the war of the Rebellion. He 
joined forces with the Republicans during the war 
serving two terms in the Maine House with Blaine, 
Dmgley and Frye. After the war he was appointed 
internal revenue collector b}^ President Johnson, but 
like Johnson's other nominations Chase's was not con- 
firmed. Soon after the war w^as closed the ''Green- 
back Times" came on and in this movement it is need- 
less to say that Solon Chase was deeply concerned. 
His ''Them Steers" has become a term known 
wherever the American political journals are read. It 
suffices to say that when Mr. Weaver was nominated 
bv the Greenbacks for President, Solon Chase stood 
next in the convention in the number of votes received. 
Mr. Chase published "Chase's Chronicle" at Chase's 
Mills for about four years. It was then removed to 
Portland and published about a year as "The Green- 
back Labor Chronicle." He next started "Chase's 
Inquirer" and published it about two years when it 
was removed to Auburn and suspended in about six 
months. The last paper which Mr. Chase published 
was entitled "Them Steers" which advocated the 
"Anti Fusion" idea, but the paper was discontinued in 
about a }ear. 

Mr. Chase is now living at Chase's Mills on the 
farm w^here he was born, nearly 82 years of age, hale 



HISTORICAL 47 

and hearty, and as original in his ideas and as intense 
in his interest in puhlie allairs as e\er.

General Survey 



TURNER GRANGE 

Among the agricultural classes there is no surer 
sign toda}' of future prosperit}' and a higher plane ol 
usefulness than is seen in the effort to build up the 
Grange. This organization is a most helpful one. It 
is fast becoming the farmers' protection. No class is 
in need of organization to a greater degree, and no 
class can be more benefited b}' organization than the 
farmers. Once thoroughly organized they have a most 
rigid grasp on things in general. 

In the State of Maine there is no more prosperous 
branch of the order than in Turner. This Grange is 
known as Turner Grange No. 23 P. of H., and had 560 
members, JaniKuy i, 1904. Its charter members were: 
Wallace Cary, S. S. Merrill, Augustus Haskell, Alden 
Fuller, E. H.^ Haskell, W. L. Blossom, W. B. Bryant, 
Henry Turner, G. W. Blossom, B. F. Ilodsdon, D. J.

50 HISTORICAL 

TURNER CENTRE DAIRYING ASSOCIATION 

The Turner Centre Dair3'ing Association was in- 
corporated in 1882, for the manulactiire of butter, 
cheese and evaporated apples. The industr}- estab- 
lished by this compan)', is located in a rich valley at 
Turner Centre, surrounded by splendid hill and valley 
farms, conducted by intelligent, wide awake farmers. 
A cheese factory was located there early in the intro- 
duction of the associated system of dairying in Maine. 
This was successful, and the product had a great rep- 
utation. Later the creamer}' system was introduced 
and, still retaining the cheese factory, the basement 
was filled up, and Edwin L. Bradford began to make 
butter, Februar}' 4, 1884. As the excellence of the 
product became known, the best markets sought its 
goods. This attracted the attention of the farmers and 
private dairymen, who also turned their cream into the 
factor}'. In 1888 the manufacture of cheese was 
abandoned, the building remodelled and refitted into a 
first- class creamery, with all the facilities to carry on 
a large business. The business is done under the name 
Turner Centre Creamery. It has a warehouse on Main 
street, Lewiston, and sends a large amount of cream to 
Massachusetts cities.

designate the occupations we have used the more common abbrevia- 
tions and contractions. Some of these follow: Farmer — far; carpen- 
ter — car; railroad service — R R ser; student, a member of an ad- 
vanced institution of learning — stu; pupil, a member of a lower grade 
of schools — pi; housework — ho; laborer — lab; physician and surgeon
